Addressing Discrimination – Dr. Abu Talha

All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly." The Sahabah, may Allah be pleased with them, came from different backgrounds; some from Abyssinia, Rome, some from Persia. The tie of "asabiyyah," sometimes translated as group feeling or tribal affiliation, was superseded by the bond of Islam, which superseded all other loyalties. They stood beside one another regardless of ethnicity or class out of their love for Allah and his Rasul ?. It's often said that the merit of a civilization is shown by how it treats those with the least influence. This week, we will be looking at how Islam addresses the issue discrimination within society, whether its causes stem from wealth inequality, racial intolerance, or other divisive factors. InshaAllah, we invite Dr. Abu Talha to Islamic Oasis LIVE to discuss this topic. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G_D6aO1r2k

Islam has given us a road map to navigate through our lives in order to succeed both in Dunya and Akhirah. We must always abide by the hukm sharai’(devine rule) in all aspects of our lives. One of the principal objectives in our commitment to this website is to provide tools from the authentic sources of Islam (Qur’an & Sunnah) to develop our Islamic Personality. Maintaining the correct Islamic Personality is vital for a Muslim to be able to avoid deviation from the right path stay strong on the path that seeks pleasure from Allah (سبحانه و تعالى ). Secondly, as Muslims living in our communities, we interact with non-Muslims on a daily basis whether at work, university, school or in society at large. It is incorrect for us to cut ourselves completely from our non-Muslim society and live in isolation. We hope inha’Allah this website provides the correct tools for building relationships with non-Muslims in order to give them da’wah to embrace Islam. It is important to always remind ourselves that our purpose in this life is to carry Islam to humanity and show them the right path thereby achieving the pleasure of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى ). Insha’Allah, with the help of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى ) and our efforts we hope to advance our readers and our own understanding and carrying Islam to others.
